I think it's fair to be *concerned* about such things. If the attitude of
"well it's free, so don't expect much" were the default, Linux in general
wouldn't be as far as it is. One can either take complaining messages as
whining and flame back, or one could use it as a starting point for a
discussion about just how that needed infrastructure is going to come into
being.
